[OSGeo Africa] Noob Question

[Hanlie Pretorius]

Hi Jaco,

Slope is measured as vertical distance over horizontal distance. If
it's expressed in percent, the ratio is multiplied by 100.

Having said that, I agree that your values look incorrect.

Can you perhaps post more information about your SRTM dataset? A range
of its values would be useful.

Can you perhaps also explain in detail how you created the slope map?

Cheers
Hanlie
